Once the computers are provisioned, they are visible under the Collections folder in All configured Intel AMT computers.

 

Using MEBx Interface to Complete Provisioning

Intel® AMT can be set up for either Enterprise or Small and Medium Business operational modes (also called provisioning models). Both operational modes
support dynamic and static IP networking.

If you use dynamic IP networking (DHCP), the Intel AMT host name and the operating system host name must match. You must also configure both the
operating system and Intel AMT to use DHCP as well.

If you use static IP networking, the Intel AMT IP address must be different from the operating system's IP address. Additionally, the Intel AMT hostname must
be different from the operating system's hostname.

l

Enterprise mode – This mode is for large organizations. This is an advanced networking mode that supports Transport Layer Security (TLS) which
requires a configuration service. Enterprise mode allows IT administrators to set up and configure Intel AMT securely for remote management. The Dell™ 
computer is defaulted to Enterprise mode when it leaves the factory. The mode can be changed during the setup and configuration process.

l

Small Medium Business (SMB) mode – This mode is a simplified operational mode that does not support TLS and does not require a setup application.
SMB mode is for customers who do not have independent software vendor (ISV) management consoles or the necessary network and security
infrastructures to use encrypted TLS. In SMB mode, Intel AMT setup and configuration is a manual process completed through the Intel ME BIOS
Extension (MEBx). This mode is the easiest to implement since it does not require much infrastructure, but it is the least secure since all network traffic is
not encrypted.
